Cyndi Lawton, MD

Wednesday, October 23, 2013

Dr. Cyndi T. Lawton lives close enough to Summerville Medical Center (SMC) that she can get to the hospitals birthing suites in six minutes when a baby’s on the way. But there are lots of reasons she likes the location. “I grew up right here in Summerville,” says the young OB-GYN, who practices with Carolina Women’s Care. “This is home.” As a girl, she went to Oakbrook Elementary and Oakbrook Middle, ran track and cheered at Fort Dorchester High School and also volunteered at the hospital during her teen years. Always high-energy, she graduated high school early, at age 17, and finished her undergraduate degree at Clemson University by 19, giving her a jump-start on her doctor dreams. Now that’s she’s back, she couldn’t be happier to practice and raise a family here. Her two sons, ages 1 and 3, were both born after high-risk pregnancies and required critical care during the first few weeks of life, giving her a fuller understanding of what families can face. “I’m never going to say that I’m glad I had that experience, but I’m glad for the things that I was able to take away from that. It really has shaped how I deliver care in a good way.”
